Property information certificates

What is a property information certificate?

A property information certificate contains important land, building or planning information.

Certificates may include information about:

• land valuations and rates
• building regulations
• water
• sewers and drains
• flood levels
• planning restrictions
• bushfire areas
• conservation
• heritage listings
• land tax
• VicRoads

Property information certificates are used when a property is being bought or sold. Visit Consumer Affairs Victoria for information on buying and selling.

We strongly recommend you talk to a conveyancer or lawyer to find out what you need to supply as a seller, or check if you are a buyer. Our how to get help page has information on how to find one.

How to order a property information certificate

Normally, a conveyancer or lawyer will order certificates on your behalf.

You can also order certificates yourself online through the LANDATA® and authorised information brokers. Our property and land titles information page has contact details.
